nothing concluded 118

rejoining the scene
in progress many thoughts
splatter pages what does it all
mean rejoining the world
where we left off

a point long ago
when every moment
seemed to matter
none do or so he's told
we all just keep on

rejoining our lives
already in progress
(or digress as the case may be)
he knows he hasn't
missed much

he knows he has been wrong
too many times to contribute
guessing at what matters
most daily reassuring
himself with every step

on solid ground
still walking around
as if he's going
somewhere else might be
a little quieter than the back porch

tonight and it's almost
tomorrow again
and he's disturbed
that it keeps happening
quickly nothing concluded...
